How to face the climate & ecological crisis with resilience and creative power
โActive Hope is about finding, and offering, our best response when facing
concerns about our world situation.โ - Joanna Macey, PhD
As an activist, you need to feel connected to yourself and your actions. Without it, you may instead act from a place of overwhelm and scarcity - you may start believing you're not doing enough and ultimately - that you are not enough.
We believe that doing activism from a place of connection with yourself and our collective web of life is more effective. This starts with awareness and re-connection.
By developing awareness of our inner landscape and reconnecting with ourselves and each other, we can focus our energy & rage in a constructive way - being more effective with our limited time & finding peace with the sufficiency of our efforts.ย ย
This full-day Regenerative Cultures workshop will support you and fellow XR rebels to:
๐ช Develop personal resilience and agency in taking action in a time of crisis.
๐ Reconnect with ourselves, trusting that weโre doing enough as activists and we are inherently enough as beings.
๐๏ธ Enhance a sense of peace with the external reality of our climate & ecological crisis; using this grounding as a foundation for sustainable action
๐ป Connect with fellow rebels in a wholesome, heart-felt way, supporting each other on our journeys. Feeling seen & heard.
๐ค Build bridges to overcome the separateness & scarcity of our toxic system to start embodying the connected, abundant world we want to create as XR.
What is it exactly?
Based on practices from Joanna Macey's Work That Reconnects, this day-long workshop will bring ritual and sacredness into your activism. We'll use tools and
techniques to build mental resilience, cultivate active hope, deepen
purpose, and strengthen the XR Rotterdam community. There'll be a blend of individual reflection and embodied group exercises. Everything is an invitation. You are the master of your own experience, participating in a way that fulfills your needs.
